Hello, Tech Tails readers!

Summer is indeed in full-swing here in Vermont! I can’t recall the last time we had such a longstanding heat-wave like the one we’re currently in. Perhaps it’s a “grass is always greener” mindset, but I remember backpacking through the Nevada desert a few years back being slightly more tolerable than these last few days! Alright, maybe that’s an exaggeration. I shouldn’t complain, though. Any time spent near one of Vermont’s many riverside swimming holes, lakes (basically ponds), or friends’ swimming pool is time well spent.

While trying to beat the heat last week, I finally found some time to configure the Philips Hue lights in my apartment to my liking. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Philips Hue is seriously cool. And the plethora of apps out there only further tweak the experience, (I found a particularly nice one that essentially puts your Hue lights into a sort of “disco” mode). While I enjoyed finally getting them to my liking, I had that moment of realization that I can only assume every Philips Hue owner has had- “I need more of these”. Fortunately for all of us Philips Hue lovers, Small Dog always has a great selection of Hue bulbs, light-strips, and my favorite model: the Go. The Go is a rechargeable wireless Philips Hue light that can add a hint of colorful ambience to any room in the house. My favorite thing to do during these summer nights is taking my Hue Go light to the back porch with a good book, set the soft color change interval time to 2 seconds and enjoy the atmosphere. Ahhhhh….

Anyway,

We’ve got some great content for you this week and I do hope you enjoy it. Let us know if there’s a particular subject you’d like to see discussed in the next edition of Tech Tails!

Thanks again, friends!
